Police going door to door in NSW/VIC investigating protestors against lockdowns months after they have occurred. I assume you will support similar surveillance of BLM protestors? NSW: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/v

It's deceptive anyway. Healthcare is much better in the USA than in Russia, including in the treatment of potential homicides. If you combined murder rate + ICU entry rate for both countries due to violent crime, I think the stats woul

I use 0.25mg and agree completely. The most annoying part is I can't find any pills less than 1mg so have to do a shitty job of separating them into 4 quarters.

How are the government able to do this in Australia? Do Australians not possess a bill of rights with codified "inviolable rights" similar to the US Constitution? Or is it basically up to the government to determine how far they c

To add to this: - Look before you leap. - Measure twice, cut once. - Stay silent and have people think you're a fool, open your mouth and confirm it. I'm sure there are many more common idioms pointing towards the idea of "th

Holy shit, I would be bouncing off the walls if I drank that much coffee. I can't even handle one in the morning and one in the afternoon or I will be awake until 4 in the morning

I don't really see why this is a problem. It seems like all this policy does is lead to the hiring of people who seem like more "iffy" hires during the interviewing process who are given the opportunity to work/learn&#x2

You've got this backwards. 1. The average American is considerably wealthier than the average European. 2. Cars are so expensive in Europe relative to America due to regulations/taxes/etc which are applied by governments (the

If you can't intuitively understand the relevance of where my parents live (more specifically my pregnant mother) to where I am born, then I am not going to be able to make you understand it. You seem to be getting hung up on the fact

Well duh, noone who has ever lived has willed themselves into existence. But just because you didn't will yourself into existence, that doesn't then imply that the circumstances of your existence are based on luck. My parents chos

The Japanese/American/Greek mother who had sex? Or are you saying it was just luck my mom got pregnant then? She just fell asleep one night, the stork visited, and then she woke up pregnant? I think you don't understand how s

I did plenty of drugs too and am doing just fine as well. Not a million or billionaire, but that is a pretty tough standard to meet. That being said, only drugs I ever did were weed, acid, shrooms, MDMA, and trying the odd pharmaceutical. N

Ah yes, I know of many great companies that were founded by democratically-elected boards for experts. Imaginatron, Fantasticallipsis, Non-existamatica, and of course many others. Can you honestly name a single company that was founded in t

One thing that never comes up in these discussions that seems very relevant to me is the preferences of women. Maybe it is just from my own limited experience but women seem to vastly prefer dating/marrying men who have fulltime jobs,

Super = Superannuation. Basically a portion of your pay (9.5% currently) MUST be paid into a superfund to hold the money until you can access it upon retirement. Car dealers are through the roof because the government allowed early access t

This feeling can definitely be found in shorter sports. The mental strength needed to get into the ring and box a 3 minute round (or multiple 3 minute rounds) is the same feeling. It's really all about if you are pushing yourself or no
